Right now we are smack dab in the middle of corn season and I have certainly been enjoying it! Mostly I have just been eating it off of the cob simply dressed with melted butter and some salt but I wanted to use some corn in a recipe. Normally when I think about corn I am thinking about recipes for dinner but this time I was thinking that it would be interesting to use corn in a breakfast and I knew just how to do it. I had recently made some
blueberry pancakes
and I figured that fresh corn pancakes would also be great in pancakes!

For the recipe, I pretty much just went with my
blueberry pancake
recipe and I replaced the blueberries with kernels of corn. This recipe was the perfect choice as it also includes some cornmeal which goes perfectly with the fresh corn from the cob. I did make one little change to the recipe and that was it include a healthy helping of cheddar cheese. When I made the
ham and egg crepes with gruyere and maple syrup
not too long ago I discovered that the sweet and savoury combination of maple syrup and cheese works really well and I could not resist using it in the corn pancakes.

The fresh corn pancakes turned out amazingly well! The pancakes were nice and thick and light and fluffy and good! The sweet corn, maple syrup and cheddar combination turned out to be magical and I certainly did enjoy my breakfasts last week. While I was eating my corn pancakes I realized that they would also do well with a savoury topping and I figured that salsa and sour cream wold be perfect! With that thought, the next morning I tried the savoury version and I was immediately hooked and I enjoyed the savoury version for the remaining breakfasts of the week. On the last day I realized that I also had some green onions and jalapeno peppers left over and so I added them to the pancakes as well and I have to say that that was my favourite version of the pancakes from the week.

Looks just fabulous (as usual). Can't wait to try it! Just found your recipe for the butter chicken and recommends....that sounds great too! I haven't tried one of your recipes that hasn't been a hit with family or friends. I appreciate all the tips too! I'd never though of using almond butter in an Indian dish but it makes perfect sense. You know the food!

We are in high corn season as well, and I can't seem to get enough! I have savory corn pancakes on the dinner menu for tomorrow night, but I think I might have to have some for breakfast and lunch as well!

I can imagine these easily. I love adding fresh sweet corn to corn bread and I serving it with maple syrup which I love; maybe cause I have some from, of all places? Canada...just the best and bet these are too1

Hi, I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and I gotta say, its the best study break when I’m stuck in the library studying for exams. It has inspired me to start my own blog, so I just wanted to say thanks for all the interesting posts, its really challenged me to get interesting with my food!

Pancakes made with cornmeal are my favorite but these just might be a close second. Oh Kevin! You really must try corn ice cream.After cutting corn from the ears I simmered my (8)cobs in 2 cups 1% milk maybe 1/2 hour and strain and chill the milk. I added 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups 1% milk and seasoned this with a pinch of cinnamon and 1 tsp Mexican vanilla. Process in ice cream maker. You will not be sorry!

dude, these look awesome. i actually had this same thought the other day but ended up just eating it right off the cob and then roasting the leftovers for salad. but before the season is out I NEED to try these

We got nopales in our CSA this week and I went hunting around the internet for inspiration. I just found it with these pancakes!! Wouldn't they be great with some cotija and monterrey jack cheese over the top, along with a nopales and tomatilla salsa? :) Thanks for the idea!
